Luke 9:40 “So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
Why? Oh the question we love to ask! Why could the disciples not do this? Well, before we rush to judge the followers of Christ let’s remember that some who came to Christ for help had more faith than others. The Gentiles often freely believed that Jesus could heal over a long distance. Whereas the Jews tended to think His physical presence was required. In any case, there can be little doubt that it was not only the weak faith of the disciples that led to this failure.
Heavenly Father, we are so limited! When we fully understand our frame, and how small and insignificant we are, it is so eye-opening. We are but dust! How can we hope to attain to anything? All of our ambitions are nothing in the grand scheme of things. But You oh Lord, You are altogether MORE than we could ever imagine. You are not limited in any way. All praise and glory and honor be to You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
